This commit adds the new struct rcu_sync_ops which holds sync/call
methods, and turns the function pointers in rcu_sync_struct into an array
of struct rcu_sync_ops. This simplifies the "init" helpers by collapsing
a switch statement and explicit multiple definitions into a simple
assignment and a helper macro, respectively.

The rcu_sync infrastructure can be thought of as infrastructure to be
used to implement reader-writer primitives having extremely lightweight
readers during times when there are no writers. The first use is in
the percpu_rwsem used by the VFS subsystem.
This infrastructure is functionally equivalent to
struct rcu_sync_struct {
atomic_t counter;
};
/* Check possibility of fast-path read-side operations. */
static inline bool rcu_sync_is_idle(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
{
return atomic_read(&rss->counter) == 0;
}
/* Tell readers to use slowpaths. */
static inline void rcu_sync_enter(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
{
atomic_inc(&rss->counter);
synchronize_sched();
}
/* Allow readers to once again use fastpaths. */
static inline void rcu_sync_exit(struct rcu_sync_struct *rss)
{
synchronize_sched();
atomic_dec(&rss->counter);
}
The main difference is that it records the state and only calls
synchronize_sched() if required. At least some of the calls to
synchronize_sched() will be optimized away when rcu_sync_enter() and
rcu_sync_exit() are invoked repeatedly in quick succession.

The various RCU list-deletion macros (list_del_rcu(),
hlist_del_init_rcu(), hlist_del_rcu(), hlist_bl_del_init_rcu(),
hlist_bl_del_rcu(), hlist_nulls_del_init_rcu(), and hlist_nulls_del_rcu())
do plain stores into the ->next pointer of the preceding list elemment.
Unfortunately, the compiler is within its rights to (for example) use
byte-at-a-time writes to update the pointer, which would fatally confuse
concurrent readers. This patch therefore adds the needed WRITE_ONCE()
macros.
KernelThreadSanitizer (KTSAN) reported the __hlist_del() issue, which
is a problem when __hlist_del() is invoked by hlist_del_rcu().

The current list_entry_rcu() implementation copies the pointer to a stack
variable, then invokes rcu_dereference_raw() on it. This results in an
additional store-load pair. Now, most compilers will emit normal store
and load instructions, which might seem to be of negligible overhead,
but this results in a load-hit-store situation that can cause surprisingly
long pipeline stalls, even on modern microprocessors. The problem is
that it takes time for the store to get the store buffer updated, which
can delay the subsequent load, which immediately follows.
This commit therefore switches to the lockless_dereference() primitive,
which does not expect the __rcu annotations (that are anyway not present
in the list_head structure) and which, like rcu_dereference_raw(),
does not check for an enclosing RCU read-side critical section.
Most importantly, it does not copy the pointer, thus avoiding the
load-hit-store overhead.

This commit adds an rcu_pointer_handoff() that is intended to mark

Currently, __srcu_read_lock() cannot be invoked from restricted
environments because it contains calls to preempt_disable() and
preempt_enable(), both of which can invoke lockdep, which is a bad
idea in some restricted execution modes. This commit therefore moves
the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() from __srcu_read_lock()
to srcu_read_lock(). It also inserts the preempt_disable() and
preempt_enable() around the call to __srcu_read_lock() in do_exit().

Because preempt_disable() maps to barrier() for non-debug builds,
it forces the compiler to spill and reload registers. Because Tree
RCU and Tiny RCU now only appear in CONFIG_PREEMPT=n builds, these
barrier() instances generate needless extra code for each instance of
rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock(). This extra code slows down Tree
RCU and bloats Tiny RCU.
This commit therefore removes the preempt_disable() and preempt_enable()
from the non-preemptible implementations of __rcu_read_lock() and
__rcu_read_unlock(), respectively. However, for debug purposes,
preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() are still invoked if
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y, because this allows detection of sleeping inside
atomic sections in non-preemptible kernels.
However, Tiny and Tree RCU operates by coalescing all RCU read-side
critical sections on a given CPU that lie between successive quiescent
states. It is therefore necessary to compensate for removing barriers
from __rcu_read_lock() and __rcu_read_unlock() by adding them to a
couple of the RCU functions invoked during quiescent states, namely to
rcu_all_qs() and rcu_note_context_switch(). However, note that the latter
is more paranoia than necessity, at least until link-time optimizations
become more aggressive.
This is based on an earlier patch by Paul E. McKenney, fixing
a bug encountered in kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT=y.

Assuming units of PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET for preempt_count() numbers.
Now that TASK_DEAD no longer results in preempt_count() == 3 during
scheduling, we will always call context_switch() with preempt_count()
== 2.
However, we don't always end up with preempt_count() == 2 in
finish_task_switch() because new tasks get created with
preempt_count() == 1.
Create FORK_PREEMPT_COUNT and set it to 2 and use that in the right
places. Note that we cannot use INIT_PREEMPT_COUNT as that serves
another purpose (boot).
After this, preempt_count() is invariant across the context switch,
with exception of PREEMPT_ACTIVE.

As per the following commit:
d86ee4809d ("sched: optimize cond_resched()")
we need PREEMPT_ACTIVE to avoid cond_resched() from working before
the scheduler is set up.
However, keeping preemption disabled should do the same thing
already, making the PREEMPT_ACTIVE part entirely redundant.
The only complication is !PREEMPT_COUNT kernels, where
PREEMPT_DISABLED ends up being 0. Instead we use an unconditional
PREEMPT_OFFSET to set preempt_count() even on !PREEMPT_COUNT
kernels.

The current ongoing effort to dump existing cBPF seccomp filters back
to user space requires to hold the pre-transformed instructions like
we do in case of socket filters from sk_attach_filter() side, so they
can be reloaded in original form at a later point in time by utilities
such as criu.
To prepare for this, simply extend the bpf_prog_create_from_user()
API to hold a flag that tells whether we should store the original
or not. Also, fanout filters could make use of that in future for
things like diag. While fanout filters already use bpf_prog_destroy(),
move seccomp over to them as well to handle original programs when
present.

This round focuses on passing net through ip fragmentation which we seem
to call from about everywhere. That is the main ip output paths, the
bridge netfilter code, and openvswitch. This has to happend at once
accross the tree as function pointers are involved.
First some prep work is done, then ipv4 and ipv6 are converted and then
